OGAN Restaurant, 1350 Marine St., Allouez, will be moving to De Pere in October.

Owner Ilde Nielson said she needs a smaller space. The Allouez building's capacity of well over 200 diners is too big for her fine-dining, everything-made-from-scratch restaurant. She will move to the former Black Boot space, 100 S. Broadway, which will seat about 45.

"It's too hard to maintain a big business and have that personal relationship with customers," Nielsen said. "I have amazing customers. That's why I survived."

OGAN will close at the end of August in Allouez, where it operated for five years, and reopen in De Pere in October, providing renovations at the new site are completed on schedule.

HABERDASHER LIMITED MOVING

The Haberdasher Limited is moving from one end of Washington Street to the other. Now at 420 S. Washington St., the upscale men's clothier will move to 335 N. Washington St., on the ground floor of Flats on the Fox apartments.

Daniel Wickman of The Haberdasher said they are shooting for a Labor Day opening.

The reason for the move is about as simple as it gets in the retail business: "We kind of want to be in the heart of downtown."

The new store will be next door to Hagemeister Park restaurant and across the street from Schreiber Foods Inc.'s new world headquarters.

TITLETOWN TOBACCO MOVING

Titletown Tobacco LLC, a cigar lounge at 516 Greene Ave., Allouez, expects to be one of the new tenants in Titletown Brewing Co.'s new expansion on Broadway. The names are similar, but they are separate business.

Titletown Tobacco recently requested a Class B liqour license for their new lounge. Green Bay's protection and welfare committee approved the request, which now goes to the city council.

The lounge is expected to occupy 5,000 square feet on the third floor of the Larsen Green building, 320 N. Broadway.

ODDS AND ENDS

• BoJo's Sports Bar & Grill, which was supposed to be next door to Polito's Pizza at 201 N. Washington St., never got off the ground. That happens sometimes. The space next to Polito's is being advertised as a newly renovated turn-key bar, in case anyone is interested.

• Either Channel 2, WBAY, or Channel 11, WLUK, will get a new owner when Media General (WBAY) and LIN Media (WLUK) merge. Regulators will not allow the company to own multiple stations in individual markets and Green Bay is one of five where a sale will be required. The companies have scheduled shareholder meetings for Aug. 20 to vote on the $1.6 billion merger.
